New Mill - Help with tooling

To anyone who is discouraged about their team, don't let yourself get down. I've seen my team go from having a robot that barely moved (and I'm not kidding, we had keys falling out of gearboxes) to this year with a robot that is ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK. Don't lose hope, stick with FIRST! - ZipTie3182 [more]

What about a 3/8" Drill bit?

Place it in the collet, stick it in the spindle, tighten the drawbar, and then you're good to go.
For drill bits, it varies. For fractional sizes that you own the collet for, you can use the collet. Otherwise you'll need to use the drill chuck.
